What tricks are there to getting a clearer brew after stirring priming sugar into a conical?
I've tried to remove the trub from the bottom valve, but I just can't get it all out, even after wasting some beer. My beer was amazingly clear, until I stirred in the primer, then a noticeable haze took over. I'm pretty sure it will settle out in the bottle over time, but darn! After bottling, when cleaning the conical, I noticed about 30ml of trub, yeast and schmutz still there.
I'm fairly new with these 6.5 gallon Mini-Brew Fermenters, and I love them. Great for harvesting yeast, removing trub after the primary ferment (?), and slick as heck when bottling. I suppose I could rack into my old bottling pail from the racking valve, then stir in the primer, but I'm wondering how forum members do this. Seems someone always has a nifty trick for every circumstance.
Thanks!
